Aida is one of my favorite Verdi operas and wow, this performance was absolutely amazing! This was the final performance of Leontyne Price in an opera and here as Aida, she was amazing, both on acting and singing. She definetely was the highlight of the performance(both O Patria Mia and Ritorna Vincitor). She literally became Aida and made Aida feel human. James McCracken as Radames was very good and had chemistry with Leontyne Price. Fiorenza Cossotto I knew previously as Azucena in Il Trovatore and here as Amneris she gives an amazing performance. Overall, with 1989 Met Aida, one of my favorite Aida and one of my most favorite opera performances ever. 10/10.
